About

Rumafeed develops biotechnology solutions focused on improving Solanaceae crops, including potatoes, tomatoes, capsicum, and eggplants. The company applies advanced genetic and bioscience techniques to enhance plant productivity and reduce agricultural waste. A key achievement is the removal of toxic compounds from potato plants, enabling the safe utilization of haulms—previously discarded plant material—as an additional resource. This innovation creates new revenue opportunities for farmers, supports multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, and contributes to addressing the global food and feed crisis by increasing resource efficiency within existing crop systems
